Autoboot
Autoboot allows a partition to be booted automatically on a cold boot of
the computer. By default, autoboot is set to AUTO for all partitions.
For more information, see the vparmodify (1M) manpage.
NOTE When using vparboot -I to install vPars, you need to leave the autoboot
attribute set to AUTO during the installation due to the required reboots
that occur during the installation. After installation is complete, you can
set the autoboot attribute to MANUAL using the vparmodify command.
For example, after installation is complete, to set the autoboot attribute
to MANUAL for the partition winona3:
# vparmodify -p winona3 -B manual
